She claims he’s verbally abusive, he claims she just wants to keep him from seeing his daughter. This is war. Poor little Nahla!

Halle Berry, 44, is not messing around when it comes to the battle she’s waged against Gabriel Aubry, 35, for custody of their adorable daughter, Nahla, who turns 3 in March. Now, a source close to Halle is leaking damaging quotes to the press about Gabriel. “Once they broke up he became verbally threatening to Halle,” says Halle’s friend to People. “He is a vindictive guy.” The source went on to say that Gabriel has even used a “racial slur” against the actress! But Halle, we want to know: Why are you doing this??

Is Gabriel really so horrible that Halle needs to publicly destroy him? In the end, that will only harm little Nahla. A friend of Gabriel’s says to People, “I never saw someone more dedicated to their child.” So what is this all about? Some say Halle is jealous over Gabriel’s rumored relationship with Kim Kardashian. Now sources are saying that Halle might be using all her money and Hollywood influence to control the situation.

“From the beginning Halle kind of had the upper hand because she was supporting all of them for the most part. Gabriel never liked how that felt,” Gabriel’s friend says to People. “Their split was tough because they’re both so involved in raising Nahla, and neither ever wanted to give that up.” Halle, please stop this! It’s so bad for Nahla!
